I always wanted to make a little sensory board for C when he was a baby. I envisioned him using it during tummy time or we could use it for floor play. I had a pin sitting on my Pinterest board. In the end I never made it. Now that my little guy is moving …
Many people get push toys for their baby’s when they are getting ready to walk on their own. This a great for that baby who is cruising and starting to stand on their own but the push toy is also great for that baby who isn’t even walking! Even though my little guy isn’t walking …

We are having a garage sale next month and I have been getting some stuff cleared out. Since we did a little revamp to our room and bathroom I was getting some old pictures out of there and moving them to the pile of garage sale stuff. There were two frames that I really liked, …
We are finally getting some nice weather around here and have been able to get outside! I was really excited to do “warm weather” activities with C. It’s really the first time that he has been able to get out and play on the grass since he was just a newborn last fall. One of …
I recently saw a commercial that had a baby in a walker which had me thinking about this device. There seem to be two products referred to as baby walkers. I am not talking about a push toy (looks like this)as some people get confused and because they can be called walkers as well. I …
Yep you read it right I made a headboard. If you are about to fall off your chair I don’t blame you. We had a bed frame and headboard in our room that I hated. If you just rolled over in bed the thing creaked like it was going to fall apart. On top of …
I am a lover of avocados no matter what way they are served. So delicious! As I am not a big meat eater I find that I will add avocados to salads as sides etc instead of adding meats. So when my mother in law introduced me to these baked avocados I was hooked. The …
Easter is just right around the corner and that means lots of chocolate for me! It also means C is getting his first Easter basket. Now being only 8 months old chocolate isn’t something on the top of our list to load his Easter basket with. This Easter basket is going to consist of a …

I did a crazy amount of cleaning yesterday. I call it my “spring clean”. On top of that I even organized our storage room! It feels good to get some stuff done. I love how my house smells when the windows are open and everything is clean. The past couple of years I have been …

I can’t even believe it has happened but my baby is 8 months old today! So much has changed. He is moving like crazy and so busy! Time is just flying by! So very shortly he will be walking and running and getting into more trouble than he already is! Right now he is doing …
I’m super excited about how my lamps turned out this past week so I had to share. I initially thought that I was going to add these lamps to my garage sale pile. They were just the wrong color and didn’t go with the theme I wanted in our room. Many of my friends know …
The activity table is a favorite toy of mine to use with babies! I love how I can change the set-up and utilize it in so many different ways to encourage play with my little guy. There are so many different ways you can use an activity table for baby. Another great feature is …

I have to post about my Mexican style quinoa since I basically eat it every week. It is also so easy! I am not the type to make any kind of complex meal. I tend to eat this for lunch. I make up a batch and pop it in the microwave for the next few …
Jumpers can come in all forms some that are in a suspended contraption and some that go over doors. The use of jumpers can be a point of contention among some people. Trust me, being a first time mom and having a husband that works many hours I get it. I totally understand that sometimes you need a minute …
We have been doing a lot of projects around the house this weekend which inspired me to give a little tour of one of my past projects. When I put together C’s nursery it was mainly DIY. Really, the only things in his nursery that aren’t DIY are his crib and the rocker. Some of the …
I realized that I have been lacking a bit on cleaning these days (like a lot!). I decided I needed to start somewhere since it looks like a tornado has gone through our house. I decided I would start with Cade’s room. I went through the basics vacuuming, dusting, and picking up and realized that …
Even though it is “Spring” it doesn’t feel like it around here. I’m trying not to dwell on the fact so I thought I should do something about it and start my herb garden. I need a little indoor garden to help with thoughts of warmer weather. I have always wanted to have a herb …
So I have been rather lazy. I enjoy sitting on the couch and eating chocolate but who doesn’t??? Now that spring is coming around (hopefully) I need to get myself back into shape. That means dropping my last couple lingering pounds and doing a little toning. I’m not aiming to have a “killer” body by …

We needed something new to do around here. I think we are both going crazy with this way too long winter. I’ve probably been to the mall a few too many times. I decided to take the plunge and invest in some balls for a ball pit. We tried several different activities to try to …
